Hey there,  
I have this FLV file that I am trying to get to play online. I have the HTML page along with the skin.swf and page.swf all in the same file on the server and it all seems to work fine. The only problem is that I have to use a different folder/directory for the flv and the swf’s. So what I end up having is src="…/thisfolder/thatfolder/file.swf", I’ve also tried using the absolute address and am having no luck.

Again, I unfortunately don’t have access to the folder that the main pages of the site reside. Otherwise I would just put them in that folder and be done with this.

I don’t know if there is some kind of work around code for this?

Any thoughts/ ideas would be much appreciated.  
thanks in advanced,
